Okay, so I’ve been seeing “Aerin Hibiscus Palm” everywhere lately. It’s like, the scent of the summer, right? I finally caved and decided to try it out myself. I mean, who doesn’t want to smell like a tropical vacation?
Getting My Hands on It
First things first, I got a sample. I’m not about to drop serious cash on a full-size bottle without knowing if I even like it. I went to the online to find the sample.
The First Sniff
Okay, so the sample arrived! The packaging was cute, very summery and floral. I spritzed a little on my wrist, and…wow. It’s definitely strong at first. I got this big blast of, like, tropical flowers. I’m pretty sure that’s the hibiscus and frangipani.
Wearing it Out
I decided to wear it out to brunch with my friends. Figured that was a good test run. I put a little on my neck and wrists, and I will say, a little goes a long way. This stuff is potent!
How it Developed
- The first hour, it was really, really floral. Almost too much, if I’m being honest.
- After a couple of hours, it started to mellow out. The coconut milk note became more noticeable, and it got this creamy, almost vanilla-y vibe.
- By the end of the day, it was mostly just a soft, musky skin scent. Still tropical, but way more subtle.
The Reaction
My friends loved it! One of them even asked me what I was wearing so she could get some for herself. She said I smelled like a “fancy beach vacation.” I’ll take it!
My Final Thoughts
So, after wearing Hibiscus Palm for a full day, here’s the deal: It’s definitely a statement fragrance. It’s not something I’d wear every day, but it’s perfect for a special occasion or when I want to feel a little extra. I think I’ll actually buy a full-size bottle for use! Will I ever be on vacation at the beach? I do not konw, but I smell like so!
